It is the start of a new week and for some of us only a few more school days until children are our for the summer. This can create some urgency for getting things done, and also getting some of the big tasks off our list before holidays start within our team. Today's blog post focuses on three keys to focus as you get the big tasks off your plate.
1. Schedule - As the old adeage goes "What doesn't get scheduled, doesn't get done". As you start your work week consider what needs to get scheduled in before it gets lost. Consider how much time is needed, who is needed and block it in!
2. Focus on the harder things first - It is often the harder and sometimes bigger things that get left last on the list. Today consider tackling something that is harder or needing some new energy first.
3. Say no - diplomatically - Many of us operate in a culture of saying yes, to the expense of getting the most important things done. While we may not have control over everything, saying no "diplomatically" is key in creating space for what is really important. In order for you to accomplish the top three things on your list, what might you need to say no to?
As you step into your week this week what will success at the end of Friday look like for you? What will it be like to get some of these bigger , or hanging, projects off your list?
Have a great start to the week,
Jennifer
